Title: radio robins phone in
Post by: whopper on September 08, 2011, 06:03:57 PM
Just an idea, does anyone think an aftermatch phone in would be good like they have on five live?

I could imagine a lot of fans would enjoy it

Another idea might be to broadcast fans forums for those unable to make it?

I believe this has been mentioned before (not on here though)  I think when cheshire radio were going to help? (I may be wrong I got the idea after listening to a FGR one, when they had talks with the managers/players pre-recorded) - and personally think it'd be a great idea, i loved 606 and I currently listen to the non league show  - however perhaps a Monday or a Thursday

If the results not right then it'd turn into moaning, and a days gap give you a chance to calm down

I think the production of regular podcasts featuring news and interviews with players and club officials would be better. These podcasts could possibly feature adverts which would raise money. If it was done on a subscription basis this would also raise money.

Could it not be done both? Or have each live one sponsored and have their advert in a podcast

Personally I believe podcast should always be free....

Does it take that much technology to run one? I think now we are in a league we more than compete in people wouldn't have as much to moan about....mind it is alty fans LOL

Maybe so mate, either way I think it's an idea with mileage.

Great let's do it, the more things there are to do with alty the better, I wonder if Robert O'neill has any knowledge on this sort of thing? He seems a bit of an I.T. man

A podcast would simple, it's just planning and recording

If it's simply a podcast, it'd need people tweet/email opinions in and have people debate + interviews


If it's a live show and podcast - it would be the same as broadcasting an commentary as I think we record them live :)


Seriously think there is some mileage in either a podcast or a live show and then a podcast

I suppose one point we'd have to consider is the fact that clubcall has a lot of interviews and exclusive content and we wouldn't want to take away any of the income that comes from that particular source.

How much does club call make these days? is it still a money spinner?

I imagine when it started it was a big money maker but in the information age i imagine that ammount has gone downhill...

Would a sponsored podcast make more money?

I bloody love this idea.

am i repeating myself now?

Alty win and the calls will be the manager's brilliant, we have top class players and we are going to piss this tinpot league.
Alty lose and it will be sack the manager, the players aren't showing enough heart, we need to show ambition, we are going to get relegated, the referee was rubbish and I am not coming again to watch this rubbish. The 606 phone-in has become very tedious.

I'm sure Flynny will explain next time he's on here but from what I know it does still make money. You'd be surprised that not everyone uses the internet and does ring it up although I think he was looking at ending it/integrating it with RR, or this may have been linked in with North Cheshire Radio giving us more exposure. No ides what is happening with NCR.

Yes the radio should not try and ever go off.  atleast try play music or recording from the commentery of last game on loop.

it should start if it does at say 2-45pm get people ready for the game.

Its not quite that simple. The audio stream has to be broadcast from a computer which means leaving it on if a continuous broadcast was to be run. When Radio Robins was initially discussed it was decided a dedicated computer performing such a task was not required as broadcasts would be made on a match to match basis with occasional additional content where relevant.  This is done from the commentators laptop. Also, there is a monthly data limit that we have to adhere to so running broadcasts for hours on end would soon exceed that and in turn it would cost us more money. We have recorded commentaries and re-run them in the past but not on the current paid for service.

Yes I will send the stream from a server the loop of the commentary of previous match.

This would meen recording the commentary on another PC live then saving as smallest file type i.e.  MP3 or OGG.

Then I could stream the MP3 on loop until the next Match.

We could also have a special "Saturday Afternoon Phone in" after the match where you can hear the callers responses to the game ;D

It would be nice to hear fellow supporters on RR.

No Problem.

Just my opinion, but I really don't think the live phone in idea will be very successful as I just can't see that many people phoning in.

Our efforts would be far better invested in producing a regular podcast.

Can you imagine a phone in where the shambles on here actually gets spoken out loud.  I don't think anyone would still be listening after about 10 minutes!

The comments on this thread cover quite a spectrum of ideas, therefore, rather than trying to deal with them in one reply, I'll try to respond to this thread in my programme article for the Nuneaton game, which will be, subsequently, posted on the website & this thread.

Please feel free to add comments in the meantime, as I will not be compiling the article until next week.

This is a great idea Jacko - Maybe you and I could host it!

We would be a great double act like Keys and Gray - making inappropriate comments about female physios.

I think this would be a great hit with all the fans who fan to hear your views!

I too think its a great idea and would spark massive interest in the club having Dan and jacko debate what sinnot should wear LOL

Which raises a very interesting (and totally irrelevant) point.

I noticed in the match programme on Saturday that the club are seeking the usual shirt sponsors for all the playing squad.

For the princely sum of £150 at the end of the season you receive a signed shirt, either home or away of the person sponsored.

However, given Mr Sinnott's sartorial elegance of always wearing a suit this raises and interesting point of order ?  ???

Does the person sponsoring the manager get his suit at the end of the season ?

If it's only his shirt, does he wear the same white shirt to home and away matches ?

I think we all need to know ?  ::)   ::)

Will it be on the main club website later...many of your listeners can't get to home games to pick up a programme

Actually, is there any way to subscribe to programmes (home and away) and get them posted on every month or so.
